After the end of the match and having qualified in the Cup, the center-back expressed his joy on social networks, where he also highlighted having drawn the bow at zero.

“Proud to captain the team today and get the win with a clean sheet! Thanks to all the fans who traveled. Come on You Spurs! published the player on his social networks.

This was Davinson Sánchez’s fifteenth game this season, where he has started in 9 games. The player has not had his best performance, after also being absent in 15 games. Even in the Premier League, he has not played a single minute during 2023.
